Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Ruan Chuyin now felt as if she was in a peach garden. Stimulated by the aroma of wine, her senses were like a black bird, with its slender snow-white neck raised, greedily sniffing the fresh air.

Go to Liangcheng, go to Liangcheng.

Suddenly, she regained some clarity of mind, looked straight at the man in front of her, and tried to refocus her gaze on his face.

He was dressed in a royal blue robe, bright yet majestic. The exquisite patterns embellishing the robe made him look more calm and noble, and it looked even better than the navy blue robe he had worn at noon.

"You are so handsome! But I won't go to Liangcheng." Ruan Chuyin leaned slightly, supporting her head with one hand, and her soft voice slowly flowed out.

Jiang Xuanzhou didn't understand the meaning of handsome, and his attention was focused on the three words "I'm not going".

The beauty now looked like a furry little kitten, with a tipsy smile on her lips and misty eyes. She was so soft and tender that he couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and kiss her twice.

The fingertips once again made a rhythmic sound of rotation.

I was too impatient just now, so I changed my tone and said, "I run a restaurant called 'Leyoulou' on Liangshui Street. It used to be packed every day and business was booming. But just six months ago, a new restaurant, 'Huajianfu', opened on the street. Their dishes are novel, varied, and affordable, and they have taken away 70% of Leyoulou's business. Miss Ruan's cooking skills are unprecedented in my life, so I would like to hire her as the chef at a high salary. Three thousand taels a month, what do you think?"

Ruan Chuyin was still confused at first, but when she heard the word "salary", she suddenly became aware of it.

Although she didn't know how expensive the prices were in Liangcheng, three thousand taels sounded like a considerable sum.

The small house she currently lived in rented for five taels of silver per month. If she multiplied it by twenty, a hundred taels a month should be enough to rent a nice courtyard in the capital. With that monthly salary, settling down in Liangcheng wouldn't be a problem. Besides, Young Master Qin and A Yu also lived in Liangcheng, so they would have to return sooner or later.

But what about Mingyue Restaurant? She was reluctant to leave.

Seeing Ruan Chuyin lost in thought, Jiang Xuanzhou pondered for a moment before continuing, "Wushui Town is a small place. With Miss Ruan's skills, it would be a waste of her talent to stay here. Furthermore, Wu'an Street is located in a poor area, so it wouldn't be a good place for a restaurant to last long. But Leyoulou is different. It's located in the most prosperous area of ​​Liangcheng, where every inch of land is valuable and there are many wealthy merchants. As long as the food is delicious, even if it's a little pricey, there's no need to worry about a lack of patronage. Miss Ruan is obviously a person with ambition and ideals. I believe she won't be content to stay in this small place and stagnate."

Hearing this, Ruan Chuyin's expression changed noticeably. Jiang Xuanzhou's words truly resonated with her. As the saying goes, "People strive for higher ground, and water flows to lower ground." Who wouldn't want to settle down in a big city?

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

She chose to set up camp in Wu'an Street because she was short of food.

Once she has money, she can be self-reliant and no longer have to rely on Qin Guanzhi's support.

Taking one step at a time, her current dream is to buy a yard of her own.

No matter how good Qin Guanzhi and Yu Yu were, it was always inconvenient for her, a girl, to live under the same roof with two men.

"Your Highness, are you so confident in me? What if you hire me to take charge and business doesn't pick up?" Ruan Chuyin asked with some hesitation. Her cooking skills were indeed impressive, but she couldn't guarantee that Leyoulou would return to its former glory, or even achieve even greater success. So, she had to be upfront.

"I believe in Miss Ruan's strength. As long as you are willing to come, Leyoulou will definitely be able to defeat Huajianfu."

Ruan Chuyin's heart was truly moved, her blood boiling. But when she thought of Qin Guanzhi, her mind immediately returned: "Your Highness, I now run the Mingyue Restaurant with Master Qin. I need to go back and discuss this with him before I can give you an answer."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuanzhou suddenly laughed.

"Miss Ruan, from what I know about the Duke of Zhenguo, Prince Qin will be returning home soon and won't stay in Wushui Town for long. I'll be back in Liangcheng tomorrow night, and I hope to hear from you before then." Jiang Xuanzhou was determined to take Ruan Chuyin back with him. If the beauty still refused tomorrow, he had other options. In short, he had to separate her from Qin Guanzhi.

The music beside her ears was pleasing to the ears. The lobby was crowded with people and the atmosphere was bustling. Various sounds were intertwined together, and the smell of alcohol that had originally dissipated in Ruan Chuyin returned.

A reply before tomorrow night wasn't enough time. But Jiang Xuanzhou's deep gaze fixed on her, preventing her from saying anything in vain.

Jiang Xuanzhou was not only her savior but also the King of Linhuai of Dayong. As a commoner, she could not afford to offend him, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

As night falls, the sky turns from vibrant colors to darkness. Stars twinkle in the sky, guiding the way for all living things.

The aroma of tea wafted through the spacious and luxurious carriage. Even after a short half-stick ride, Jiang Xuanzhou had made Ruan Chuyin a cup of sobering tea.

Ruan Chuyin half-drooped her eyelashes, concealing a slight look of surprise. This alien world was truly very friendly to women. Even a prince of a great country was so attentive to others. She couldn't help but secretly sizing him up.

He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his hair is as sharp as a knife, his figure is majestic, he has an aura of power that no one can match, his words are powerful, he has the wisdom to plan strategies, he has the heart of a tiger but can smell the roses, he is truly a child of destiny, the Tai Sui of the world.

"I heard that Miss Ruan is eighteen years old. I wonder if she has a husband or a maid at home?" Jiang Xuanzhou handed her a cup of hot tea and asked in a relaxed tone.

Ruan Chuyin was slightly stunned. She didn't seem to have mentioned her age to Chuyi before. She didn't think about it too deeply. She habitually waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm not married."

Is it possible for such a beautiful girl?

Jiang Xuanzhou seemed unconvinced and emphasized his doubts in a different way: "At Miss Ruan's age, many women already have a husband and two or three servants."

If the woman he likes is already married, he will find a way to get rid of her and let the past rot deeply in his heart.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.

Ruan Chuyin felt that Qin Guanzhi, Yu Yu and Jiang Xuanzhou all seemed to be very keen on this question, and they all held a skeptical attitude after hearing her answer, which made her a little unhappy. With the remaining alcohol, she took a deep breath and reaffirmed: "I don't have a husband, and I don't want to get married. I think it's good to live alone. I don't have to be responsible for others, I only need to be responsible for myself." She still had to go home, so even if she wanted to look for it, she had to go back and look for it.

Jiang Xuanzhou's breathing stagnated, his heart pounding in his chest. He stared at Ruan Chuyin blankly, not saying a word for a long time.

Her mind was filled with the first half of her sentence, and the stars in her eyes became brighter and brighter, so bright that Ruan Chuyin couldn't help but shrink back slightly.

The carriage slowly stopped, and she couldn't wait to say goodbye, but the moment she lifted the curtain, she was grabbed into a big hand.

"Your Highness, you..." Ruan Chuyin was shocked. Before she could come to her senses, a red, yellow and green jade bracelet appeared on her wrist.
